It is a West Country seaside town that is a little slice of paradise blessed with a glorious coastline, rugged cliffs, gorgeous coastal walks, dramatic sea views and lots of lovely independent shops, pubs and cafes. Sidmouth even has its own lifeboat station.
It is revered by locals and visitors alike who never want to leave the place because it ticks all the right boxes and offers a slower, calmer, peaceful way of life, away from the chaos of the rat race.
That demand for Sidmouth of course comes with its own challenges, with people fearing locals can't afford to stay and compete with the money second homeowners bring. However, despite being a popular tourist destination, with its many holiday homes and hotels, there is a true sense of community and residents are welcoming and friendly, reports DevonLive.
